Gold embroidered or pomegranate casula, German, 18th century. The front and back are divided into three sections by strips of embroidered baroque shells resembling braided trim. The outer edges are laced with similarly patterned embroidery stitched on with cord spun from metallic strands. The varying degrees of shininess of the embroidery is produced by using metallic strands or cantille more tightly or loosely spun or cross-sectioned.
